DAVID SACKS: “President Trump has been really clear that consumers should not have to pay higher rates for electricity because of data centers … He said let the AI companies become power companies. Let them stand up their own power generation … with these new data centers.”

Data centers are important for many reasons BUT consumers should NOT have to pay higher bills to facilitate the huge amounts of electricity they eat up. The richest companies on the planet are building these centers and they should bear the costs — not you.

🚨 Could AI Data Centers Actually LOWER Your Power Bill? David Sacks: “We can get these AI companies to pay for upgrades to the grid. We can actually get them to produce more electricity… Residential rates go down for [the] community, not up.” “They pay for those teacher bonuses. They pay for decreases in property taxes.”

Today President Trump obtained a pledge from America’s leading tech companies that new data centers would not increase electricity prices for residential consumers. These companies (including Amazon, Google, Meta, Microsoft, OpenAI, Oracle, and xAI) signed the “Ratepayer Protection Pledge” under which they agree to cover the costs of all new power generation required for their data centers, ensuring such costs are not passed onto American households. This is a much better approach to affordability than Bernie Sanders’ total ban on new data centers, which would halt the construction boom currently driving wage growth and job growth for blue-collar workers. In fact, the Ratepayer Protection Pledge will lower electricity prices when AI companies pay for grid upgrades and sell their excess power back to the grid. Since the beginning of his second term, President Trump has championed the idea of letting our leading AI companies become power companies, and now this idea is becoming a reality thanks to his leadership and the commitments of these strong American companies. The right approach to data centers is not to stop progress altogether, but rather to protect residential rate payers from price increases, while making it easier to stand up new power generation.

President Trump was ahead of the curve requiring AI companies to build their own power generation so new data centers don’t raise electricity prices for residential ratepayers. Done right, data centers actually lower prices by producing excess power and funding grid upgrades. They also pay for better schools, more social services, and lower property taxes. President Trump is unique in his ability to stand up to media hoaxes. The data center hysteria will pass, and he’ll be proven right again.

🚨 NOW: VP JD Vance says data centers are NOT controversial as long as they produce their own energy "You should be putting power BACK into the grid — not taking it out. If that happens, data centers are not that controversial." "Build the power plants WITH the data centers. Probably 99% of the backlash to data centers came from areas where building it means higher utility and electricity for the people on the ground." "These companies should take advantage of federal deregulatory efforts we've undertaken." JD and Trump are 100% correct!

NOW: President Trump has arrived at the EPA to announce a new AI energy initiative, making sure data centers are the ones footing the bill for their energy usage — NOT American families They'll actually be producing MORE energy than they use, driving down rates for families. "The American Innovators and consumers strive to win together because we're insisting that AI data centers and big tech companies pay THEIR OWN WAY." "They're going to have a lot of electricity left over, and they'll put that into the grid so it'll actually end up with more electricity. The rates are going to go DOWN."

🚨 “Data centers, if done right, bring electricity costs down, not up.” David Sacks builds on President Trump’s message: AI companies bringing new power online can lower costs for residents and help finance long-overdue grid upgrades.

Be aware of what your electricity bill is now. Watch what happens if any AI data centers get built in your region. Your rates are going to increase dramatically because consumers are going to be forced to pay for the expansion of the power supply. If AI companies are not forced to fully fund their electricity requirements, the rest of us will pay for it. We are starting to see communities rise up and protest the building permits for AI data centers in their areas.

When it comes to data centers, Michigan should show the country how to do it right. That means: Data center companies, not Michigan families, pay for their own energy and grid upgrades – so rates don't go up. Data centers can't harm our water, air, or environment. Data centers pay their fair share in taxes to fund our schools, roads, and communities. Data centers are built with local union labor.

David Sacks dismantles Hochul’s data center myths: • Power: Build behind the meter. AI companies can become power companies • Land: Extremely efficient with massive ROI; America has plenty of open space • Noise: Overblown, easily fixed with distance • Water: Hoax — closed loop systems use less than In-N-Out or almonds • Jobs & Taxes: Big tax revenue, construction boom + ongoing jobs • Pollution: Powered by clean natural gas David Sacks “When you compare economic impact to all these different things, data centers are one of the best things we could be building as a nation. These data centers have become the scapegoat for all the angst about AI.” @jason “All I have to say is, Welcome to Texas.” Should states be welcoming or blocking data centers?

Today, Trump hosted AI execs to ask them to "pledge" to cover the electricity costs of their data centers. One problem? It's smoke and mirrors. Consumers should understand that if he's serious, Trump would support my Power for the People Act to make these protections LAW.

Thank you, President Trump for recognizing that the people were paying for the Ai centers power via our electricity bills. Will the electric companies even lower our bills? We should have never been paying for someone else’s power. Why were we paying for Ai centers power in the first place? Does anyone know more about this?
